Are you looking for digital photo restoration but don't know where to start? Let us guide you on how to choose someone to restore your photos.


First, decide on the type of restoration you need. Do you want a physical or digital restoration? While physical copies have their charm, they're not always convenient for sharing. Imagine wanting to share an old photo with a cousin in Italy, but you only have one copy. You'd worry about it getting lost in the mail and if you'd ever get it back. Digital restoration eliminates this worry. You can make multiple copies and share them easily with anyone.


Next, check if the restorer has a portfolio with clear examples of their best work. Photo restorers use a variety of techniques to create beautiful results. While AI can enhance workflows, skilled restorers know how to balance its use to avoid making images look artificial. Regardless of technique, the goal should always be to honour the subject with accuracy and authenticity.


Consider the colour quality. Are they consistent and realistic? Refining the image with accurate colours makes all the difference. Your input on colours can bring a photo back to life.


Cost is another important consideration. While a quick fix at a lower price may seem like a bargain, you might end up paying more to get it done right. It’s similar to choosing between a budget haircut and a premium one—you get what you pay for. Remember, these are your memories, and they deserve the best care.
